In his own words

The Cliff Notes:
Born in Virginia, I moved to LA after I graduated college. I've been living in the Southbay ever since.
My Career:
I work for the interactive arm of a consulting firm -- I help brands develop digital experiences. I love it, for so many reasons...
Some Stuff I Like: (Note: "Friends and Family" goes without saying... right?)
• Golf - just started taking lessons (early 2014), and I'm really loving it. Disclaimer: if we hit the links together, you might want to bring a helmet
• Netflix
• Watching football in a dive bar with my friends (and a lady that I dig)
• Stumbling around a new town (especially in Europe) with a travel companion, exploring architecture, history, cafe’s, and taverns
• A day of beach volleyball followed by a beer and some laughs
• Mocking short people and making them feel generally inferior (kidding, just checking to see if you’re reading)
• A good open, honest debate/conversation – mind you, not an argument
• The salad bar at Whole Foods - don't take this to mean I'm a veggie please. Porterhouse Steak, medium rare, is just about heaven on earth... if you disagree, I will fight you.
• Boxers (the dogs, not the pugilists)... I’ll own one one day (a pugilist, not the dog), when my lifestyle can accommodate it
• Getting lost in a good book
• Turning my nephews and nieces into Redskins fans
• Affection - although you're not allowed to tell anyone about this as it may ruin my street cred.
• Being outside - I love the mountains, and the beach
• Writing
• Bear Grylls – I think I have a man-crush on him. Is that weird?
• New experiences
• Documentaries (For some reason if there’s a documentary on about the Civil War, WWII, or animals in Africa I feel as though I have to stop everything and watch it. It might be a form of OCD... you’ve been warned)
• The feeling you get when you truly pushed yourself during a workout
• Redskins, Orioles, Capitals, Wizards, and Lakers
• Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert
Some Stuff I'm Against:
• Hollywood B.S.
• Intolerance
• House and Trance Music – sorry, I don’t get it.
• Narcissism/Selfishness
• 99% of reality TV - but I understand and support your right to like things that suck – note: if emoticons weren’t emasculating I’d put one here
• Entitlement
• Drivers who clog up the left lane doing 10 under the speed limit. I should be allowed to punch these people right in the groin
What I'm Looking For:
In short, I’m at a point in my life where I’m looking for the real deal. I’m looking for the girl that I’m excited to have in my life. A best friend to have adventures with. Someone I truly have the potential to build a life with. The Bonnie to my Clyde. I can list a crapload of adjectives here, but we’ve all met someone who hit most of our “checklist” yet lacked that indescribable “spark” or connection. All that said, I’m in no rush to get married. I want to find the right girl for me, rather than accomplish some arbitrary goal.
Two Quick Admin Notes:
• Thanks for your emails, but if I don’t write back it’s because I don’t feel as though we’re a match. Not trying to be rude, but at this point in life I know what I want and what I’m attracted to, and I don’t want to waste your time (or mine). I’m truly flattered though, and wish you the best in your search!
• I'm not looking for anything long distance. Living in LA, that means you've got to be within a 10-15 mile radius of Manhattan Beach. Ladies of the Valley, or OC... while I'm sure you're lovely people, sadly, you're just geographically undesirable.

Favorite hot spots

The people make the place. Surround me with good folks, and I’m happy. Admittedly, I'm happier in a dive bar, wine bar, or lounge than I am in a club though...
Like you, I love to travel and experience new places/cultures...

Last read

I love to read (although, I read all day at work so I don't read "for fun" as much as I'd like). Give me an author with a strong, insightful, sarcastic voice and I'm happy. Vonnegut, Sedaris, Eggers = favorites. Just finished "The Circle" (Eggers).

Technically, I'm a hebrew honky (born and raised in a conservative, jewish home). In reality/practice, I'm a "golden rule guy", not an "organized religion guy". If you want to discuss, feel free to shoot me a note...
